Mac OS Sierra 10.12.1 Mouse click (double click and triple click)

Question

Problem statement:

I just updated to macOS Sierra 10.12.1 (from OS X Yosemite) but now note that double click will select all text on the line. Before this update double click selected the word or IP that I was over and triple click selected the entire line.

Problem TL;DR

Before update:

• double-click = selected word
• triple-click = selected entire line

After update:

• double-click = selects entire line

EDIT:

So I just noted that this is only in web brousers (Tested in Safari and Google Chrome) text editors like Caret (Google Chrome app/extension) are unaffected.

EDIT 2:

• Attempted Shutdown without re-opening apps to no avail.
• Also noted that double clicking in Microsoft apps seems to be proving problematic like launcing a RDP session in Microsoft Remote Desktop or selecting a blank document in Microsoft Word.

EDIT 3:

See below answer if you have a Razer Naga. I have to wait 48 hours before resolving.

Attempted resolution:

I have been all over System Preference but have not found anything yet. I also googled this a bit but it doesn't appear that people are talking about this yet (I note that this version was released 4 days ago).

Visited Articles for Sierra:

Why this is important to me:

This might seem trivial but this is going to seriously slow down my workflow since I have to select VM names and IP's from sentences for a good portion of my day.

Questions:

• Has anyone else expirienced this?
• Does anyone have a solution? (Looking to resolve without third part products).

Version:

10.12.1 (16B2657)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

So this is somewhat embarrassing and unexpected. This issue stemmed from my Razer Naga 2014's software. I was promoted with an update shortly after upgrading to Sierra.

I installed this update and everything is peachy now.

I realize that I should probably brought this up earlier in my problem statement.

Thanks for reading! I hope this helps someone else.

EDIT:

I guess I have to wait 2 days before resolving.
